Participate in Survey On Special Education in Ohio

You are invited to participate in a short survey (multiple choice questions) designed to obtain insights and perspectives on the condition of special education services in Ohio. The survey is an important part of the Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with Disabilities' (OCECD) Special Education Redesign Project. The primary focus of the project is to determine the strengths and weaknesses of Ohio's special education system and then to use this knowledge to help make judgments about policy and program changes that would improve educational outcomes for children with disabilities.
Stage 1 (May-September 2011) of the project is an intelligence gathering effort that involves the Coalition reaching out to knowledgeable special education stakeholders - parents, educational professionals and policy professionals - through personal interviews and the Coalition's web-based survey.

To participate in the survey, please click on the link that pertains to you. You may also go online to the Coalition's website address (www.ocecd.org) and click on the Special Education Redesign Project survey to begin the survey. (Survey will be available on our website by August 18th. It’s ready now at the links below.)

Your participation is very important and very much appreciated. It will help the Coalition identify what matters most in improving special education services to children with disabilities in Ohio. This work is even more important given the likelihood that state government policy makers will again turn their attention to reforming school funding in the midst of ongoing fiscal constraints and growing pressures to improve student achievement, including the achievement of those with disabilities.

Thank you for your consideration of this request. Please feel free to pass this along to others or refer them to our website to participate in the survey.
